Friday!!!

Here’s a picture of the pet of the week – Walli – who needs a good home.  Do you have one for her?  She’s sweet and well behaved and will make a great addition to your family.  She can be adopted at the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley.

So we were doing shots today on Your Morning Show – No, not these shots

It was tetanus shots. KC was recounting her garage cleaning episode this past weekend and how she cut her leg on a piece of metal. She began to feel sore and speculated that she may need a tetanus shot. A registered nurse called (the Nameless Nurse) and said she’d come in and administer the shot. Mike thought it was cool until he was told that since he hadn’t had one in over ten years he’d have to get one too. That wiped the smirk off his face. But they weren’t bad and now both should be safe from lock jaw for the time being.

101 number one song of the day was the big payoff for a group that struggled for years after they lost their record deal and their name right around the same time. The quintet was formed in Chicago in 1960 and were signed by Mercury. Their first single, “Pots and Pans” failed to clean up. They were dropped from the label and had to relinquish the name they were using because another group had first claim to it. They added a “C” in front of their old name in a nod to their hometown. And they continued to perform – and struggle. Finally, in the seventies, they began to click; and on May 21, 1972, their perseverance paid off with the number one song in America. Their old name, by the way, was the “Hi-Lites” but with the addition of the “C” they became the Chi-lites and this is the 101 number one song of the day (Oh Girl)

As we conclude “Bike To Work Week” with “Bike To Work Day” it’s the perfect day for the news that American cyclist Floyd Landis – who lost his 2006 Tour de France victory after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs – has finally admitted he took the drugs. He’s been denying it for four years…but now says, yes – he did dope for the sport. He also says Lance Armstrong was taking them with him. He says cycling…is a dirty sport. We appreciate the fact that we’re involved in a career…where a performance-enhancing substance…is coffee.

A lingerie shop in San Antonio, Texas has been cited…for not have a food permit – and selling edible underwear. The owner said she thought it was a joke at first – but she was told by the city that she can’t stay in business without the permit. She’ll have to pay $230 a year for the permit and be subject to regular health inspections. She said she tried to explain that edible underwear is a novelty item and not intended as food – but they wouldn’t listen.

A playground for senior citizens has just opened up in London. They say the idea is for seniors to stay fit with outdoor exercise. The park includes several pieces of all weather fitness stations, including a stationery bike, an elliptical machine and a sit-up bench.

Some groups are trying to get McDonald’s to bounce Ronald McDonald –

saying he lures small children into eating unhealthy food. Now they’ve made a presentation of their claims at McDonald’s annual stockholders’ meeting in Chicago. The presenter called Ronald, ‘an insidious message to young people’. But the CEO of the company stood up to the protesters – calling Ronald ‘a force for good’ – noting that he’s both an ambassador for the restaurants and the Ronald McDonald House charity. The bulk of the stockholders cheered at the defense of the clown. -Hey if you want to protest somebody…the Burger King is a freak.
